    Thank you, Thank you sooooooooooooooooooo much and continued success on your journey. I had the lapband in on 08 and as you mentioned grazing. Well I grazed my band out and it bulged I had to have it taken out because of my failure to do what I was suppose to do. I realize that and now I am having the gastric sleeve.

    Got home yesterday. I will return to work on the 29th or 30th depending on how I feel. I over did things on Sunday when the group of us went shopping and ended up sore and unable to stay awake yesterday. So I learned my lesson and will be resting a lot today

    Congratulation on making the choice to change your life. I was sleeved Jan 12,2013 by Dr. Sergio Quinones in Mexico and it was the best thing I could have done. I am part of a great support group on Facebook. It's for people who are thinking about weight loss surgery, pre-op and post-op. The group it set to secret. No one on your Facebook page will know your a member of the group or see any post you make. If you feel that this will help you along your journey, message me and I will add you to the group. Find me on Facebook stacyeckel@gmail.com Good luck on your journey.

Yes I will weigh myself but I am also going to track My NSV

NSV-None scale victories!

How do my clothes feel
Can I fit into the next size down
How do I feel in my clothes
How many flights of stairs can I walk up
How many flights can I walk up without hyperventilating

Do I go out more
Did I join Curves (again) or another gym

8 days Post Op

by galmila on 05-31-2013 at 05:46 PM
May 31, 8 days post-op and I am doing fine. I went to work May 29 and worked 8 hours each day. My incisions are healing nicely the only one that I am watching is where the drain was.

I went to Mexico on May 23. I left Washington at 6:15 arrive in San Diego at 9:20. I called the driver and he was circling the parking lots waiting for me and my daughter. We picked up one other person and sailed through the Mexico border. Once you cross you are in Tijuana. The driver dropped off the

I am so excited to meet Dr. s. Quinones in Mexico on Thursday. I am ready, I am at peace with my decision. I will be in Mexico for 5 days.
I have not thought about backing out but I have thought about consequences. But to tell you the truth other than money I can't think of anything to talk me out of this. Airport rides are all planned. I start clear liquids tomorrow being doing liquids/protein pretty well the last 2 weeks. I am all ready for when I come home.
The new me, that is

The decision and the wait (no not weight)

My band would allow me to eat Cheetos but I could not eat raw vegetables. I always had a problem with excess saliva. It gets so bad in the morning that I can not eat until 11:00 or 12:00 after a couple cups of coffee. I still have problems with salad and vegetables. by the time night rolls
